The New Brunswick Horror.

New BRUNSWICK, n. j., March H..
The result of the post mortem examin
alton on the bodies of Robert and Cor
nelia Denmead showed hat the woman's
lungs were in a normal condition and that
her death was not caused by pneumonia.
Her stomach showed that the woman was
starved to death. Mrs. Denmead had
been dead for at least two months.
Robert Denmead's body wal gaunt and
shriveled, the lungs and heart were de-
composed. the stomach and intestines
we're empty. His death was also caused
by starvation. The stomachs of both
Robert and Mrs. Denmead will be exam
ined for traces OF poison.
Howard McSperry, counsel for Samuel
Denmead, is authority for the statement
that Robert Denmead was taken ill four
months ago and died about Christmas.
Cornelia was taken i'll a few days before
Christmas and died a few days after.
Death in each case resulted from natural
causes.

A Low Passenger Rate.

WASHINGTON, March ia commit
tee of the Southern Passenger Agents
convention, which adjourned here recently,
has decided upon the general national drill
rate for all travellers. Under the inter-
state commerce law it is understood they
cannot make discrimination in favor of
persons, so the committee has decided to
give cheap soldiers rates to citizen tray
elers also. Three-quarters of a cent per
mile is the rate fixed for parties of not less
than twenty-five in one party, for short
line distance travelled from all points to
Washington and return. This rate, which
applies to citizens and soldiers, is the low
est ever given for similar purposes; about
one-half that given to the New Orleans
exposition.

Beecher's Funeral.

New YORK. March l1.-All Brook
Ign was IN mourning to day over the
death Of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher.
The public Offices were closed, business
entirely suspended and memorial services
were held in a large number of churches
in the vicinity of Plymouth church.
Members Of Plymouth company G, 18th
regiment, of which Beecher was chaplain.
were stationed at the doors of the church
and no one was allowed to enter without
a ticket, while a vast crowd of people
gathered outside of the church. The
lady members of the congregation were
working within, and the whole interior
was turned into a perfect flower garden
and fragrant perfumes of roses pervaded
the air. The facade of the gallery was
covered with potted plants and the pulpit
was loaded down with flowers and floral
emblems sent by friends of different or
CARNATIONS. The casket was placed ON a
catafalaue of white roses, white carnations
and smilax directly in front of the reading
desk. Not a vestige of the black covering
of the casket could be seen. There was
nothing to indicate the presence of death
except the Stiffness which pervaded the
room. and the hushed conversation of the
workers. 1t was nearly 10 o'clock before
the doors were opened to those who had
been waiting without for nearly three
hours. The first four seats on the right
of the center aisle were reserved for rela-
tives of the deceased. Beecher's family
were not present and the family pew was
filed with flowers. Mrs. Beecher was in the
church for a few minutes before the doors
were opened, but vent out with her sons
before the crowd entered.
A chorus of sixty voices sang the burial
chant, Lord, Let Me Know Mine End"
The lesson was read by DIR. Hall, and
prayer was delivered by Rev. S. B. Hal
liday. After the first lesson. DR. Hall
commenced his Grafton. During its de-
livery there was not a dry eye in the
house and several times he was compelled
to stop for a time to gain control of his
voice. DR.. Hall then pronounced the
benediction and the vast audience filed
slowly out of the church.
The other churches in which services
were held were crowded to the utmost ex-
tent of their capacity. The surrounding
streets in all directions were crowded with
people waiting patiently for their turn to
gaze upon the features of the dead
preacher. 1t is estimated that fully 25,-
900 attended the services in the various
churches and hat fully twice that number
were gathered in the streets in the neigh
borhood of Plymouth church.

Important Decision by Secretary
Lamar.

m
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE secre-
tary Of the interior, in the case Of Lander
Scott versus the Kansas Pacific railroad,
has decided to adhere to the present sys
tenn of adjusting the limits Of granes for
railroads. That system was established
in 1852 and defines the lateral limits of
such grants by describing an arc from
every point of the road as located on the
plats OF the public survey with a radius Of
length prescribed by the statute. The
lines drawn tangent to such arcs will
form the limit. This decision rejects the
system proposed by the commissioner of
the general land Office which would de-
terminc the side limits of the grant by
drawing lines of length prescribed by the
statute from every point of the road as
located. but always at right angles to the
direct line connecting the termini of the
road. A line drawn through the extremi-
ties of such a line would form the limits.
This decision is of great Importance as 1t
applies to all railroad grants and grants Of
like character.

A Move on the Chicago Boodlers

"A move on the chicago Boodlers.
CHICAGO, March lI.-An important
move was made to-day in the prosecution
Of "boodle' county officials. Shortly be-
fore noon an assistant of the states at
torney's office, accompanied by six city
detectives, entered the rooms of the
county commissioners, where, armed with
Rbpena, every record and document be-
longing to the institution for two years
was seized. At about the same moment
a similar movement was made at the
county hospital and asylum. The papers
and books were then taken to the grand
jury room for record. The entire pro-
ceeding was carried on so quietly and
speedily that very few OF the suspects
were aware Of what had transpired until
after the papers had been taken.
